Each of us is affected differently by our injury - though there are many similarities. We can't expect our recoveries to happen exactly the same way.

There are basic guidelines which seem to be true for just about everyone, but a lot of it seems to boil down to - what can my own body handle?

I have found this site to be wonderful for increasing my awareness about my own symptoms. I lived in a fog for many months and really had no idea what was happening or why.

The more I learn about others, the better I'm able to figure out what's going on in my own life - and thus figure out ways to deal with it.

The important thing is to figure out what does or does not work for your own recovery.

I know, I know - easier said than done!!

Partial list of symptoms: (Physical - noise/light sensitivities, balance problems, headaches, sleeplessness) (Mental - brain fog, severe lack of awareness, difficulty expressing ideas - or thinking in the first place!, struggle with simple problems) (Emotional - anger, depression, inability to handle/control emotions) (Social - generally inept - thanks to everyone for allowing me to "practice" some social and communication skills on this forum)
